WRATH refers to the personal manifestation of God's holy, moral character in judgment against sin. Wrath is neither an impersonal process nor is it irrational and fitful like anger. It is in no way vindictive or malicious. It is holy indignation - God's anger directed against sin.
God's wrath is an expression of his holy love. If God is not a God of wrath, His love is no more than frail, worthless sentimentality; the concept of mercy is meaningless; and the Cross was a cruel and unnecessary experience for His Son.
The Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible declares that all people are "by nature children of wrath" - We all were among them too in the past, living sensual lives, ruled entirely by our own physical desires and our own ideas; so that by nature we were as much under God's anger as the rest of the world. But God loved us with so much love that He was generous with His mercy: when we were dead through our sins, He brought us to life with him and gave us a place with him in heaven in Christ Jesus, - Eph. 2:3-6 - and that "the wrath of God's is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness". - Rom. 1:18-19 -
Since Christian have been "justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him". - Rom. 5:6-11 - The magnitude of God's love is manifested in the Cross, where God's only Son experienced wrath on our behalf.
"The day of the Lord's wrath" - Zeph. 1:18 - is identical with "the great day of the Lord". - Zeph. 1:14 - These terms refer to "the wrath of the Lamb", Jesus Christ will fall on the ungodly at His Second Coming.
Then all the earthly rulers, the governors and the commanders, the rich people and the men of influence, the whole population, slaves and citizens, took to the mountains to hide in caves and among the rocks. They said to the mountains and the rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us away from the One who sits on the throne and the anger of the Lamb. For the Great Day of his anger has come, and who can survive it?' -Rev. 6:15-17 - 1Thess. 1:10, 5:9-10; 2Thess. 1:7-10 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
